26、It has been suggested that body language consists more than 60% of what we communicate. 【1】 . Below are tips to help you learn how to read body language and better understand the people you interact with.

Study the Eyes

【2】 . When communicating with someone, pay attention to whether he or she makes direct eye contact or looks away. Inability to make direct eve contact can indicate boredom, disinterest, or even deceit-especially when someone looks away and to the side. If a person looks down, on the other hand, it often indicates nervousness or submissiveness. A person' s blinking rate can also speak volumes about what is going on internally. 【3】 . In some cases, increased blinking rate indicates lying-especially when accompanied by touching the face（particularly the mouth and eyes）.

Gaze at the Face-Body Language Touching Mouth or Smiling

Although people are more likely to control their facial expression, you can still pick up on important nonverbal cues if you pay close attention. 【4】 . There are different types of smiles, including genuine smiles and fake smiles. A genuine smile engages the whole face, whereas a fake smile only uses the mouth.

Pay attention to proximity

Proximity is the distance between you and the other person. 【5】 . Standing or sitting in close proximity to someone is perhaps one of the best indicators of rapport（融洽）. On the other hand, if someone backs up or moves away when you move in closer, this could be a sign that the connection is not mutual.

A．Eye behavior can be very telling.

B．Smiling is an important nonverbal cue to watch for.

C．Everybody will smile when they feel happy at any time.

D．So learning to read the nonverbal cues people send is a valuable skill.

E．Blinking rate increases when people are thinking more or are stressed

F．Eye contact shows that a person is interested in what you are talking about.

G．You can tell a lot about the type of relationship two people have just by observing the proximity between them.

27、Wind farms have been considered as the way to fight global warming, but a new study suggests they could actually heat the planet up.

The study found that the US would get warmer if the number of turbines(涡轮机）were increased markedly. Researchers say they'll require much more land than previously thought, needing five to 20 times more space than earlier studies have suggested. And winds created by vast fields of turbines could mix warm and cool air, which makes the surface quite warm .

Despite the potential drawbacks, however, the researchers argue wind energy still makes more sense for the environment than fossil fuels. Study coauthor and Harvard University scientist Professor David Keith argued that, when it comes to energy production, there is no free lunch. "Wind beats coal by any environmental measure, but that doesn't mean that its effects can be ignored. We must use fewer fossil fuels to stop carbon production. In doing so, we must make choices between various low-carbon technologies , all of which have some environmental effects , " he said.

More than ten previous studies have now observed local warming caused by US wind farms. Researchers suggested that solar power offers a less damaging energy source in the fight against climate change. In terms of temperature difference per unit of energy generation, solar power has about 10 times less effect than wind, and the solar power energy is mature in a wide range of fields. But there are other considerations. For example, solar farms are dense(密集的）, while the land between wind turbines can be co-used for agriculture.

Tidal power is an environmentally-friendly energy source. In addition to being a renewable energy, it does not give off any climate gases and does not take up a lot of space . However , there are currently very few examples from real tidal power plants and their effects on the environment. Also, it is important to realize that the methods for generating electricity from tidal energy are relatively new technologies. It is projected that tidal power will be commercially profitable within2030 with better technology and larger scales.

【1】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To introduce a study finding.

B．To discuss the global warming problem.

C．To prove the benefits of wind farms.

D．To call attention to environmental protection.

【2】What is paragraph 2 mainly about ?

A．The effects of global warming.

B．The reason for using wind energy.

C．The disadvantages of wind farms.

D．The working principle of wind farms.

【3】What do Professor David Keith's words suggest?

A．Producing energy is easier than before.

B．Consuming energy damages the environment.

C．Burning coal should be totally stopped.

D．Developing low-carbon technologies is hard.

【4】Which is recommended considering the environment and practical use?

A．Wind energy.

B．Fossil fuel.

C．Tidal power.

D．Solar energy.

28、   The Amazon rain forest is on fire. There are more fires burning there than ever before. That's according to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research. Using satellites to track deforestation and wildfires, the agency has counted 74,155 fires in the Amazon this year. That's roughly an 84% increase over last year at this time. The effects of the fires are being felt across Brazil. Parts of the country are covered in smoke. In the state of Sao Paulo, heavy smoke caused the sky to go black and blocked the sun on Monday. Other Brazilian states have declared the situation an emergency. One state has been put on “environmental alert.”

Some people think the policies of Brazil's president, Jair Bolsonaro, have led to the increase in fires. He wants to change laws that protect the Amazon so businesses can clear more land for commercial use. Bolsonaro says the fires are blazing simply because “it is the season of the queimada."(Queimada means "burned" in Portuguese. Portuguese is the official language of Brazil.)

But experts say Bolsonaro is wrong. They don't blame the increase in fires on the season. They point to deforestation and a worldwide increase in temperatures. “Trees, if they're stressed out by heat repeatedly, are more susceptible toother kinds of damage,” such as fires, says Deborah Lawrence. She's an environmental sciences professor at the University of Virginia.

Carlos Nobre is a Brazilian climate scientist. He's also an expert in tropical forests. The situation is “very sad,” according to Nobres. “We usually would see this surge of fire in very, very exceptionally dry years,” he says. “The fact that this record—breaking figure comes out in a relatively un—dry dry season shows that deforestation is increasing.”

【1】What is the result of this fire?

A．Many people died in this fire.

B．Most of the states in Brazil feel the effects of the fire.

C．Many trees and animals are destroyed.

D．Brazil declared the situation an emergency.

【2】Which of the following statements is not true in this passage?

A．The Amazon rain forest has few fires this year.

B．Some people think the president should take responsibility for the fire.

C．Some experts say the fire is caused because of the season.

D．Carlos Nobre thinks fires should happen in a very exceptionally dry year.

【3】What can be inferred from Deborah Lawrence's words?

A．Trees are sensitive to some kinds of damage.

B．Fires are caused because of the season.

C．Deforestation is increasing in the world.

D．Fires happened in exceptionally dry year.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A．We should take measures to stop fires.

B．What we can do for the fires.

C．Fire happens in The Amazon rain forest.

D．Fires cause much damage.

29、Whether we should allow marine (海洋的) parks to stay open has been widely debated in our community recently. A variety of different arguments have been put forward about it.

Smith, a sociologist, argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of the public to see marine mammals.  As this argument goes, most Australians live in cities and never get to see these animals. Marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife. However, in fact, there are many places where they can be seen in the wild. Moreover, these places do not charge an overpriced entry fee — they are free.

Dr. Alison Lane, the director of the Cairns Marine Science Institute, insists that we need marine parks for scientific research. She argues that much of our knowledge of marine mammals comes from studies which were undertaken at marine parks. The knowledge which is obtained at marine parks can be useful for planning for the preservation of marine mammal species. However, Jones, a zoologist, explains that park research is only useful for understanding captive animals and is not useful for learning about animals in the wild. Their diets are different, they have significantly lower life lengths and they are more likely to have a disease. In addition, marine mammals in dolphin parks are trained and this means that their patterns of social behavior are changed.

The Marine Park Owners Association holds that marine parks attract a lot of foreign tourists. This position goes on to state that these tourists spend a lot of money, increasing our foreign exchange earnings and assisting our national balance of payments. However, foreign tourists would still come to Australia if the parks were closed down. Indeed, surveys of overseas tourists show that they come here for a variety of other reasons and not to visit places like Seaworld. Tourists come here to see our native wildlife in its natural environment and not to see it in cages and concrete pools. They can see animals in those conditions in their own countries.

In a word, perhaps an agreement cannot be reached now. However, a question does deserve our consideration: If we continue with our past crimes against these creatures, how will our future generations view us?

【1】Who support(s) the idea of closing marine parks?

A. Most Australians. B. Jones.

C. Smith. D. Alison Lane.

【2】Which is NOT the reason to keep marine parks?

A. For entertainment purpose.

B. For scientific research purpose.

C. For economic purpose.

D. For political purpose.

【3】The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by________.

A. pointing out the problems with keeping the marine parks

B. using evidence he has collected at the marine parks

C. discussing the advantages of animals' natural homes

D. questioning the way the animals are studied
